[ath9k-devel] ar9271 SIOCSIFFLAGS error and authentication timeout

[Cedric Sodhi]

Keeping it short: I've followed all the instructions on

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc

in order to get the TL-WN721N USB WiFi device to work. I tried with 

2.6.37
2.6.37.1
2.6.38-rc6 mainline last stable

in all permutations with

linux-next compat-wireless
linux-2.6-allstable compat-wireless

in turn in all permutations with the firmware for the Ar9271

from the Kernel GIT
from wireless.kernel.org:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ar9271.fw

Nothing helped. The best results I got, and where I am currently stuck
is with

2.6.38-rc6, linux-next compat-wireless, firmware from GIT

When I boot (Gentoo), everything starts okay, but I get constant

"try 1"
"try 2"
"try 3"
"authentication timed out"

in dmesg. When I restart /etc/init.d/net.wlan1 I get, after
wpa_supplicant is said to start

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132

wpa_cli can subsequently not connect to wpa_supplicant. I'm clueless,
what else can I do? Why is it not working? on wireless.kernel.org the
chipset and the device I own are said to work!

Basically one of the issues I've had with ath9k since 2009.

Yes, I've also gotten this. Sometimes even for ath5k, but more
reliably for ath9k. The only thing that has helped is power cycle.
(The machine, not just the card.)

Yes, quite.

PS, if that matters: When I observe the ERFKILL status with rfkill I get
a

idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 0
idx 0 type 1 op 2 soft 0 hard 0

every time I restart /etc/init.d/net.wlan1.

Attached is a log of dmesg. If you want me to enable certain DEBUG
options and grab another one, please say so. I've just read that certain
DEBUG options might cause problems so I disabled them all, to be
careful.

Those lines are saying that WLAN (type 1) was changes (op 2) to having
both soft and hard block off. There would need to be a case where either
the soft or the hard block value would change to 1 for ERFKILL to be
indicated.

Could you please run "rfkill event" while injected the card and keep it
running until you see the first ERFKILL? I would like to see at which
point soft/hard block is enabled and what may have happened just before
that..

This looks like a separate issue. For some reason, the card is either
not transmitting or receiving frames when trying to authenticate. If you
can reproduce this easily, it would be interesting to see a wireless
capture log (if you have another device that could run in monitor mode)
to confirm whether the authentication frames are indeed transmitted.

What is the AP configuration ?
And you are using wpa_supplicant, right ?
Can you post the supplicant configuration here ?

And yes, enabling debug options would help, please load
the driver with modparam debug=0x201 and post the kernel log.

The interesting part about that is the block being soft, not hard.. In
other words, this looks like some software application in the system
disabling the wireless, not the WLAN driver.

> I'll do what you requested. I just wanted to clear this out

Please also run "rfkill list" at the point when ERFKILL is being
reported. It shows a bit more helpful names for the interfaces than the
idx value from the events.

Error 132 is ERFKILL, i.e., something in the system disabled the
wireless device. Does you laptop have a physical switch or some key
combination that may have been hit to disable wireless? The rfkill state
can also be changed using software calls. You could use rfkill tool to
monitor rfkill events to see when that state changes.

In my case no. I have gotten both minipci ath9k card and cardbus
ath5k "stuck" in reporting 132 on ip l s dev .. up IIRC both after
using wpa_supplicant and only using iw manually.

I'm not sure what could trigger this apart from the most common case of
a real RF kill button (which can be very inconvenient in some laptops...
I hit mine accidentally commonly). In case of ath9k and ath5k, I would
expect this to be a GPIO interrupt if that blocking is indeed coming
from the driver (rfkill event / list could help to figure out whether
that is the case). I'm not familiar with that area of the code, so I'm
not sure how likely it would be for the GPIO setup to be incorrect for
any particular card/laptop.

ThinkPad X40 has no rfkill button. Fn+F5 is used to enable/disable
wifi but in Linux that goes through the H8 EC into acpid where I just
load/unload the module.

Nod. The ath5k card is cardbus also, and once it starts reporting
ERFKILL it does not help to unplug the card, unload ath and ath5k
modules, and then replug card. Only power cycle makes it work again.
The ath5k card+driver is otherwise very reliable for me.

The best thing would be to stick to your distribution's kernel,
and use the latest compat-wireless package.

Run "./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc" in the compat-wireless directory
and then do a standard "make && sudo make install", and then reboot.
If the FW is present in the right location (check Gentoo's policies),
things should work.

Unlike many binary distributions, Gentoo does not push a particular
kernel down their users' throat. It's very easy to use any kernel
whatsoever and many Gentoo users do just that.

Why a developer team working with wireless-testing.git consistently
recommends using some other code is very difficult to comprehend at
least for this fellow developer.

You really need to lighten up.

Compiling a kernel and installing it is not a simple process
for the vast majority of end users. Each distribution has its
own idiosyncrasies and demanding kernel compilation knowledge in
a user who just wants his card to work is absurd.

In contrast, all it takes to install compat-wireless is the usual
make, make install. Some distributions like Ubuntu have binary
compat-wireless packages too.

The reported issue shows signs of basic configuration/setup deficiencies,
which is why compat-wireless was recommended.

In that case you need to pay more attention.

Your user classification filter is terribly flawed. The poster
described trying several different kernels with several different
wireless driver setups, some even -rc, as well as different variants
of compat-wireless, and reported the best results attained from that
testing. In every other project and community this is interpreted for
what it is; good thorough testing done by the reporter, before asking
for help. It is also a sign of competency.

Do you seriously believe that is the problem?

The report contains *exactly* the same problem that I have tried to
communicate to anyone and everyone involved with ath9k on and off for
more than a year, as well as a second problem which I confirmed that
I have also experienced with both ath5k and ath9k.

And you have the nerve to dismiss it as configuration/setup
deficiency. That looks incredibly bad!

To elaborate a bit more, everyone is incredibly tired
of your trollish verbiage and jumping on every random thread
spouting nonsense. It isn't as if the developers are involved
in a conspiracy to make the end users' lives difficult.

Again, I try not to rant without also providing something useful in
the reply. If my impression is that a new person arrive and posts an
issue then I might be more likely to reply, and while I understand
that hearing over and over how I think things could work better gets
old quickly I think it can help those new to the list to e.g. point
them to l-w or suggest what they might expect or not on this
particular list. It would have helped me.

I hope not, then I would really be in for problems. :) I don't expect
this to be the case. But I react strongly to how things work because
it is so different from what I expected when approaching the primary
Linux supporting wifi vendor.

Symptoms are identical to what I have experienced, so there's a
chance that it's actually the same issue if some amount of code or
design is shared between ath9k and ath9k_htc. Although not much might
be, maybe some lines were copypasted over, or maybe some design
pattern was reused, and there lies the elusive problem.

The PCI thing is actually way more annoying right now, because it's
blocking the other debugging and I'm not sure what to throw at it
short of a logic analyzer, which is so not what I want to do..

I will not quote all the replies. I will just reply:

Peter:

Thanks for your reply. I tried rebooting, AC-off etc a dozen times by
now. Basically, every time when I tried a new kernel. The problem did
not change.

Jouni:

Thanks for the clue, it's good to know what's going on. No, the computer
(which is a desktop station) does not have any controls to trigger
Wireless. Besides, it is an external USB card

TL-WN721N (PS: This device is said to be supported according to
wireless.kernel.org)

which would not be affected by such a "hard-off" button. It does have a
little button on the side of it which is called QSS (some security
feature I don't know anything about). I pressed it repeatedly, also
worrying that it could be the cause, but it did not have any effects.

I installed rfkill and when I run "rfkill list", the tool returns that
"Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: no".

Jouni:

So far I had GPIO disabled in the kernel. I enabled it with the
suboptions

CONFIG_GPIO_BASIC_MNIO
CONFIG_GPIO_SCM

(buest guess) but it had no effect.

I think Jouni was refering to GPIO in the AR9271 chipset, and that
maybe something within the USB adapter was causing the 9271 to
believe that it received an rfkill signal via a GPIO from somewhere.

I'm afraid I also know little about both chipset and driver though. :\

I meant running another wireless LAN card in monitor mode (e.g.,:
ifconfig wlan0 down; iw wlan0 set type monitor; iw wlan0 set channel 6
HT20; ifconfig wlan0 up) and using a program like wireshark to capture
the frames.

Yes, I think you understood correctly. However, it looks like this is
something specific to what Gentoo is doing in its network configuration
scripts. It looks like /etc/init.d/net.wlan? script ends up soft
blocking all wifi for some reason and that result in the 132 error. If
this causes you any problems in getting wpa_supplicant running, I would
suggest targeting this question to whoever is maintaining the Gentoo
scripts. You can also try to manually unblock the soft block with
"rfkill unblock wifi" before starting wpa_supplicant.

I was able to reproduce the part of WLAN getting soft blocked, but the
script did manage to get wpa_supplicant running. Please make sure you
are running an up-to-date version of wpa_supplicant to get better
support for dynamically changing rfkill state.

Why would it do that? To be frank I doubt your diagnosis at this point,
how did you come to conclude that?

I might have misunderstood, but as I said the device is unlocked before
and after the (attempted) start of wpa_supplicant:

# rfkill list
Soft lock: no
Hard lock: no
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan1 restart
... SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 ...
# rfkill list
Soft lock: no
Hard lock: no

Trying to unlock wouldn't make any sense, correct?

I'll try a bleeding-edge wpa_supplicant and will report back. Do you
have any ideas left? I'm quite certain that Gentoo Devs will not be able
to help me with that but rather point me at you, saying the driver has a
problem.

I have no idea why it would do that; you would need to ask Gentoo
developers that. I concluded this by checking what my test laptop with
Gentoo was doing..

That SIOCSIFFFLAGS error is likely from wpa_supplicant which would
indicate that the unblocking was not done before wpa_supplicant was
started. The current wpa_supplicant handles the change during run time,

In this state, correct. Before running net.wlan1 restart (or more likely
start), it may be enough to workaround some issues if your
wpa_supplicant is not new enough.

I doubt that. If that rfkill soft block is causing problems, it is not
because of the driver (it would use hard block). I see nothing here that
would point to the driver as far as this rfkill part is concerned (the
authentication timeout is different issue).

What do you mean? The common behavior on most Linux wireless development
lists, including this one, is to reply to the sender of the message and
include the mailing list (and possible other addresses) in the cc
line... I'm just following that policy here.

Quick grep rfkill -r /lib/rc* /etc/init.d comes up empty.

But ifplugd is used, might it be twiddling rfkill knobs?

I'm as clueless. I inserted the "rfkill list" command at different
stages in the the init-script and it turns out the Lock occurs BEFORE
start( ) is called - outside of /etc/init.d/net.lo.

But where?

strace -fFs 1024 -o /tmp/out /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart; grep -B 512 rfkill /tmp/out | wgetpaste -X

Another thing to try would be to see if simple ip l s dev eth1 down or
.. up triggers the lock?

Wait a second, this can't possibly caused by calling rfkill. I only
installed rfkill to examine why that happens in the first place!

Yes, but there might be a syscall. On second thought I guess that
would be an ioctl, so grep -i instead.

It is done with iwconfig. iwconfig_post_stop and failure in
iwconfig_pre_start results in "iwconfig wlan# txpower off" getting
executed. This results in soft blocking the interface.

iwconfig_pre_starts removes the soft block with iwconfig_defaults that
runs "iwconfig wlan# txpower auto", but this happens only after
wpa_supplicant has been started (I would do that in different order..)
and as such, depends on wpa_supplicant being able to handle a dynamic
rfkill blocking change.

Anyway, this is getting way off-topic for this mailing list. Like I
mentioned before, if this soft blocking causes issues, the question
should be directed to Gentoo maintainers. Though, it should be noted
that this works fine on my laptop with Gentoo as long as the network
settings are correct to avoid hitting the soft block on failure and as
long as wpa_supplicant is recent enough to handle the rfkill events
properly. In addition, it should be noted that any manual operation
after "net.wlan# stop" will need to take care of unblocking the soft
block before actually trying to use the radio.

I'm not sure whether I understand every bit of your reply. For practical
reasons, I would like to skip directly to...

So you are implying that it's actually an issue of my network settings
and/or wpa_supplicant version? Is this the quintessence?

If so, what networksettings do I require and what version of
wpa_supplicant do you use?

Thanks, it sounded like it's already solved

There, I lost you again. After the stop, there is no soft lock in place,
why are you saying this then?

[Cedric Sodhi]

I've just inserted a makeshift "rfkill unblock 0" in the init script
which got me rid of the two SIOCSIFFLAGS errors. But I still get an
authentication timed out, and apart from that nothing changed. I guess
there has to be something deeper than just a flawed init script.

I can't rule out that I have made a kernel misconfig apart from the
explicit settings which are stated to be required for compat-wireless.

Oh dear, this is so embarassing. It turned out that I neglected to
authenticate the device at my router.

I'm _so_ sorry for wasting your time!

It's not quite working, but I guess the rest is a matter of
configuration.

Again, I'm very sorry, I got lost in the errors and did not think of the
obvious. So turns out 132 wasn't responsible, my own stupidity was :-(

I'll handle from here on, please take my apologies, I'm embarassed.
